T-Bar Operation

The T-Bar may be set via "T-Bar Range" to Normal, ±5%, ±10%, or bidirectional
operation.
Note: Due to limitations of the P2 protocol, these speeds may not be exact.

Normal

There are three main aspects of the "Normal" speed operation of the T-Bar, as
follows:

Full Range Operation

Press the ENABLE button. As soon as the T-Bar is moved, a speed
command (depending on message choice made in the Menu) will be sent.
The range of operation is from Still (all the way toward the operator) to 10x
normal play speed.
A subsequent press of the ENABLE button will turn the T-Bar off. Depending
on selection within the Menu, the pressing of any "transport" button (REW,
R-PLAY, STOP, PLAY, FFWD) may be made to turn the T-Bar off.

Scaled Range Operation

Press the T1 button. The T-Bar will be enabled. The minimum speed of the
T Bar will now be the value set in the Menu Item T-Bar Speed Min. The
maximum speed will now be the value set in the Menu Item T-Bar Speed
Max.

Preset Operation

It might be desired to be able to always start T Bar operation at a know
speed different from the Max or Min value. When the PRESET button is
pushed, a speed value equal to the speed set in the Menu Item "T-Bar Speed
Preset" will be immediately sent. That speed will be shown on the second
line of the display. Unless the T-Bar happens to be sitting at the Preset
speed, the PRESET LED will blink indicating that the T Bar needs to be
moved to the "null" point (the point where the T Bar position is the same as
the Preset).
On the far right of the display, an up or down arrow will show which direction
the T Bar needs to be moved. When the T-Bar is moved past the Preset
point, the LED will turn off, and the arrow will disappear. The T Bar is now
"Live".
When the ENABLE LED is off, movement of the T Bar will display (for about
1/2 second) the speed that would be sent were the T Bar enabled. This
includes any min/max scaling if the T1 LED is lit. By this means, the operator
can go to an exact speed position at any time without causing the controlled
machine to move.
